On the way to solitude,
someone at the door...
too much time elapses
until I try once more;
on the way to worship,
the telephone goes off...
to set apart a time for God,
is life itself to scoff?!

Must all be taken from me
for to attend that place?
So minor are most of the things
distracting from His grace!
But what could be of more import
than fellowship with Him?
In His Presence, He addresses
every one of them!

So blessed is that solitude
containing He & I!
There be no greater place of healing
for to occupy;
place of restoration, blessing,
peace--it's all His own;
let not a thing distract from where
His Holiness is known!
